Specificatonof Letters PatentiNo. 26,636, datediIiecemberQ?,

To all 'whom it may cof/cama n Y i i Be it known that I, OYRIELE. BROWN, of Millbury, in the county of lVorcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machinery for Spinning; and I do `hereby de-` clare the same to be fully described andrepresented in the following specificationand the accompanying drawings, of which#- Figure 1, denotes a side `elevation and Fig. 2,'a longitudinal section of a Hier and spindle furnished with my invention. Fig. 3, is a side View of the hook and eye of the Hier arm. p

My invention has reference to thespindle and Hier of the ordinary throstle frame, the nature of `such invention consisting in an arrangement of a secondarytubular bearing with the spindle and the tubefor supporting the Hier arms and whir; also in constructing the Hier arm hook with a helical eye to open into it; also in making the top of the secondary bearing tube and that of the Hier neck conical or otherwise so as to` form a channel for receiving oil from the spindle and conducting it between the surfacesof the said tube and neck; in combining an oil receiver and bearing with the secondary bearing and so as to surround it, the spindle and the Hier neck and constitute a bearing to the latter and at the same time serve to catch oil that may pass downward from between the rubbing surfaces of the secondary bearing tube and the Hier neck.

In the drawings, A, represents the spindle, B, the Hier, a, the-neck of the Hier, b, the whir, while c, c, are the arms of the Hier:

C and D, are the frame rails for supporting the Hier and spindle. Heretofore, it has been customary to allow the Hier to turn` directly on the spindle. Instead of so doing I apply to the Hier neck and spindle so as to insulate one from the other, a secondary bearing or tube d, 0l, which I step int-o or support by the rail C, as shown in Fig. 2, and this I construct with a shoulder in the form of a bearing and cup, asfshown at e, such shoulder cup being made to support the lower end of the neck of the Hier and to rise above and encompass the same. Furthermore, the upper end of the bearing d, and the Hier neck, I form conical or beveled as shown at g, and h, so as to constitute a channel to receive oil from the spindle and convey the same between the rubbing sursnrNDLE `sur) riuniti;

`and the Hier bearings `can be rearned out to faces f of the" bearik Instead,` of support ggiof t dle by extendingthespindle through..1 i l i stepping the said spindleflinthe rail in the ordinary manner, I construct the said` drag with a tubular extension orcylindri` bearing Z, to extend into gthel saidirail and receive the spindle.` I also formt-he hoo i of each Hier leg w-ith;ahelical` eye in manner and to openintozthefhook,as` shown in Figs. l, 2 and 3.` s j The advantage derived from `the secondary bearing tube d, isthat itfprevents wear i i of the Hier on the `spindle or wear of jtheW` spindle on the Hier, the wear being onthef i secondary tube. i Consequently,the usualfvi- 13g i bration incident to` suchwear ofllspindle w i and Hier will be prevented,` and the `Hi 1can be run at a much greaterfspeed,xand besides.` n will last much longer thangwhenthe spindle revolves `in contactwithit. l

The addition of the helical eye `to the i hook of the Hier arm enables the drafton w f the bobbin to be regulated and the yarn to, jv f be guided to the bobbin tolbetter advantage than by the hookalone, for while thegeye serves toguide the arm correctly tothe .bob-` bin and prevents it from slipping off the l hook it also allows the hook to receive two V or more turns of the yarn so as tolincrease i f the draft on the bobbin. Besides the helical s. l eye presents an advantage inapplyingthe yarn to the arm and hook ofthe Hier; By making the drag withl a tubulan bearing to J extend into the spindle rail, the spindle i better supported and not liableto bind" in the rail, and besides the holesforthe spindl better advantage and "truer `thanwhen the spindle alone extendsinto the` rail."`t The oil channel at thetop `of the Hier f neck and its bearing serves to catch "the 1 surplus oil which may run 0H' the spindle,` and to direct the same between the neck and i the bearing. Furthermore,thebearingcup, at the bottom of the bearing and around the f foot of the neck of the Hier operates `inconjunction with the bearing to receive the oil,; i i which falls back or down after the Hier may 1i be stopped, such oil being` taken up by `the Hier neck during its revolutions. l

Iclaim i t l i i l. The arrangement of the secondary or tubular stationary bearing, d, with the Hier and spindle as specified. `f l 5 2. Also, the combination of a helical eye with the flier arm and its hook and to open into the hook.

3. Also, making the top of the bearing d, and that of the flier neck, with an oil channel so arranged as not only to receive or catch the oil that runs 0E the spindle but direct or conduct it between the rubbing surfaces of the said neck and bearing.

4. I do not claim an oil cup as ordinarily applied to the foot of a spindle; nor asapplied to a cop tube and spindle, as shown in the United States Patent No; 16298, but I claim combining or arranging an oil receiver and bearing, e, With the secondary bearing tube, d, and so as to surround it, the spindle and the flier neck substantially in manner .and for the objects and purposes as speciied.
